HUB Parking Lot
Belongs To Students
Under the new parking regulations recently released,
students will now be deprived of the right to park behind
the Student Union, a building built by student fees and
the center of most student activities on campus.
The revised regulations make one concession to the
student by opening all areas outside the center 'core of
campus to student parking after 5:30 p.m. on weekdays and
12:30 p.m . . on Saturdays.
But this concession is more than offset by the loss
of the HUB parking lot.
A small grant was made to the HUB building fund so
that faculty would have use of the building but it was
erected chiefly from money payed by the students, because
the building was to be primarily for their use. Should not
its parking lot also he for the student's use?
Last year 2480 parking permits were bought by stu
dents at a cost of $37,200. This money is supposed to be
used for maintenance of the campus roads, parking lots
and campus cops. Faculty and staff pay nothing for their
parking facilities.
Figures on how much these maintenance costs actually
run are not available, but the students' contribution cer
tainly seems to be a sizeable enough, chunk to allow them
to 'park by their own building.
As its name - indicates, the student union is truly the
hub of student activities. Several organizations hold meet
ings there each night, and now the students that attend
these meetings...will not even be able to park in the lot
constructed for the users of that building.
The lot will be re - served for faculty and staff parking.
The only classroom buildings near the lot are Temporary
Building and White Hall. There are 213 spaces available
in the HUB, far more than the total number of faculty
and staff in Temp, White and the HUB combined.
Students were allowed to use the lot in the evenings
and on Sundays last year and we never heard one com
plaint of faculty or- staff who were crowded out of that
particular lot. .
• The opening of lots behind Simmons and McElwain
and beside Pollock may compensate for the loss of the
HUB lot during the weekend dating rush, but it is little
solace to the student trying to make a 6:30 meeting in
the HUB.
While the new rule simplifies.the parking regulations,
by firmly establishing two distinct areas—within the cen
ter campus core, and outside the core—the former reserved
for, faculty and staff and the latter open to students at
night, the HUB lot must be exempted from this rule.

Latest Congo
Reprisal Shows
Dag's Power
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
Although the full meaning of
yesterday's apparent flip-flop by
Congo Premier Patrice Lumumba
cannot be judged until more of
the background is known, the po
sition of the United Nations and
its secretary-general appears to
have been enhanced,
There are those who. every
time the U.N. is involved in a
crisis, express fear that the whole
future of the organization will be
undermined.
Yet the U. N.
has been moving
steadily since its
ward the point
where it can act
instead of mere-
ly talk.
In the Korean
affair, 10 years
ago, it could act
only in the ab-
sence of the So-
viet Union. In the spotlight of
the Security Council, the Soviet
Union has now gone along with
the majority at three major points
regarding the Congo, even though
she has not been in full accord
and is suspected of subversive ac
tion behind the scenes. But the
collective opinion of the U.N. has
been at work.
This growth in power in the
U.N. has paralleled the growth
in activity of the secretary-gen
eral's office. Dag Hammarskjold
assumed from the start that he
was not merely an administrative
officer, but that he should sug
gest action, and interpret and exe
ecute general instructions from
the Security Council and the Gen
eral Assembly.
He has just been upheld in one
of his most important interpreta
tions—that U.N. forces should not
be subordinated to the political
wishes of the Lumumba faction in
the Congo.
The tumumba statement that
he will not press for more, since
his original 'demand for removal
of the Belgians is being carried
out although several other de
mands were refused. is an odd
follow-up on this Hammaskjold
victory.
On Sunday the Soviet Union
failed to press demands in the
U.N.. and Lumumba's statement
was issued by a Red-tinged asso
ciate after a conference with the
Soviet ambassador to Leopold
ville.
It's not reasonable to believe
that the Belgian angle was the
only Soviet interest, or that Lu
rnumba will be satisfied with a
period of inaction as long as the
secessionists control the Congo's
Katanga province. Tomorrow al
ways brings a new twist from this
immature politician.

The plan of naming each men's
living unit after a county was
inaugurated last year to increase
the spirit between the students,
create closer-knit decentralized
living units within large resi
dence areas, and to draw atten
tion to the benefits derived from
public education in the state.
